Thingyan is the Myanmar New Year Water Festival and is one of the most important festivals in Myanmar, which is celebrated every mid-April and lasts for four days.
The festival 💦 is known for the joyous water-throwing tradition, which is believed to wash away the previous year's bad luck and bring blessings for the coming year. During Thingyan, the entire country comes alive with cultural celebrations, including water-throwing, street parties, traditional music and dance performances, and many people visiting pagodas and monasteries for offerings.
If you're visiting Myanmar during the Thingyan festival, you can expect to be drenched in water, hear the sounds of traditional music and dance, and witness the joyful spirit of the Myanmar people.
